Mays held the Boston Red Sox to only four hits yesterday and won his game by the score of 4 to 0. The Yanks hit Boston pitchers for eleveh bingles. "Black Sox," Composed of Former Big Leaguers Now Under Indictment. Out of Luck Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire. Chicago, April 17. All hope of ever playing a game in Chicago was abandoned today by the "major stars," better known as the "Black Sox," the team in which Cicotte and other former members of the White Sox are enrolled. The Commonwealth-Edison com pany, which owns the park in which a game has been scheduled with the Anstos, notified the manager of the Aristos that the grounds would not be available if a game was staged v'ith the "outlaws." In-addition, a iiteeting of the man Happy Hollow Clu Wants to Stage Arguments are , waxing furious among local golf enthusiasts as to whether the Happy Hollow club or the.Lakoma club of-.South Omaha will have the honor of staging the 1921 Nebraska State tournament W. C. Eraser, a big booster for the Happy Hollow course, says Happy Hollow is in just as good condition as any course in the coun try. Last year the Omaha Field club was awarded the tournament, and the year before the Country club staged it. Neither of these two is making strong bids for the state golf meet this year,., and fur thermore, Happy Hollow is1 next in .turn. ' The Lakoma promises to raise a BABE RUTH has started on his 1921 hitting spree, The King of Swatters landed on one of Harris fast ones yester day in the Yanks' game with the Athletics and the result was that the kids are still looking for the ball.' ; The "Babe"; is ahead of his 1920 schedule. Last season he smacked out his first homer on May 1, but this season he has informed the base ball public that he will collect at least 75 , circuit clouts. Thus the early start. Ifs the spirit that wins ball games, says John Heydler. head of the National league. Not to mention, anything about pinch hits. ' . If some of these ball players with long names had to argue with printers when it came time to have the box scores set up in type they would soon change their monikers, believe us. Lasker and Capablanca are moving leisurely as if they be longed to the furniture movers union. . Rocky Kansas, the Buffalo lightweight scraper ( who is causing a lot of mitt'slingers to flop to the canvass when they ex change blows with him, has de veloped a back-handed swipe that has resulted in various rivals to bite the resin and forthwith there is a cry for legislation against it. Gus Kallio, Norfolk wrestler, says he has an "Unknown" he will match against any welter weight grappler in the country. This "Unknown" mat-man will meet Adam Kreigr in Lincoln next Friday night in a finish match. " Frank Isbell, president of the Wichita Western league base ball club, sure has tough luck. Two days before the season opened, Frank was insured V against rain on the opening day in Wichita. Under the terms of the policy tcn-hundreths of an inch of .rainfall had to fall within the specified time. Jupiter Pluvius turned off his aerial faucets an hour too soon for Isbell to collect from the company. It rained but six-hun-dreths of an inch in the allotted four hours. But, 01' Jupiter soaked the ' !f for Game in Chicago agers of the City league was hastily called and notice was served upon all players in the various teams that they would be barred from future games if they played with or against the "Black Sox." The Umpires' Protective league also took a fling at the discredited players by ordering its men to have nothing to do with any game in which they appeared, or to work in future games with any men who. played against the "outlaws." As a result of all these hostile moves, the proposed game with the "Black Sox" was cancelled. b "Up in Arms;" 1921 Golf Tourney mighty rumpus with the Happy Hollow authorities over which of the two will stage the state tourney. The dope plainly says that Omaha will get the award, as Lincoln courses do not compare with those here. Two or three tournaments were .staged at Lincoln in the past. The Nebraska State Golf associa tion will hold its annual confab Fri day noon at the Omaha Athletic club. All arguments will be settled when the board of directors hands down the decision as to which of the two clubs will hold the annual golf meet. So far the dope is about 50-50 that either the Lakoma club or Happy Hollow will getthe tourney. : diamond until it was impossible to play the scheduled game. If Babe Ruth keeps up his career of devastation, a lot of ball clubs wil start an agitation for the suppression of four-base hits. Benny Leonard has ducked the chance to battle with Rocky Kansas in Madison Square Gar den on May 22 with the light weight championship at stake. But, it is not because the cham pion fears the Buffalo .slugger, Leonard, like most of the other title holders and top-notchers, realizes the nearness of the out door fight game, is holding off tackling any more tough bat tlers indoors. He figures that any old outdoor arena can pack in 25, 000 and upward, whereas the best the Gardan can house is a 15,000 throng. r When Leonard and Kansas clash there will be more than 15, 000 fans present. , Now that the six-day bike rid ers have started to enliven their performers with fisticuffs we L probably will be hearing next how Capablanca caressed .Las ker with a right cross to the chin after a dispute as to whose move it was.
